Could someone please expand on this, like a couple methods for creating one?

Cleanup needed!

[edit]

Hi Saurabh, Your entry reads like a textbook, not like an encyclopedic entry. You need to :

  • find more works on the subject.
  • give more references.
  • cut out anything that is technical and does not belong in an encyclopedia article.
  • your entire section 3 needs to be rewritten in prose with minimal details & all those equations in section 2 need to go unless they are relevant. No derivations here please.

However, your entry in its present shape is more suitable for English Wikiversity. You may like to create a page there too.

Rating this as start class. The previous comments are still entirely relevant and substantial work is required. 110.174.44.126 (talk) 05:53, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Space complexity of move-ahead-k

[edit]

The article claims "Doing so would require a constant cost of storing last k pointers of the linked list.", which is an accurate portrayal of what the Hester source says.

Unfortunately, the source is wrong. You only need to store a single additional pointer, which lags behind the current by k (which need not be constant, as long as i-k is monotonically increasing). This is reminiscent of the well-known Floyd's cycle-finding algorithm, where the "tortoise" advances every other step that the "hare" takes. Here, our "tortoise" would remain still for the first k steps, then advance at the same rate as the "hare".

I'm not sure where we would find a published source for this kind of thing, but my description should be sufficient for any programmer to figure it out.
